Hi,
I have installed Galaxy and used "Scan and import folders" feature to add already installed games to it, but Galaxy failed at recognizing witcher 2 installation and also FTL. I don't mind reinstalling FTL via Galaxy, but Witcher 2 is too huge for my internet to do so.
Is it possible to tweak galaxy source files/registry somehow to force add the game to the installed list? Had anyone experienced such bug?

There are 2 ways to add games to Galaxy:

== IMPORT ALREADY INSTALLED GAMES TO GALAXY ==

1. For GOG games installed using installers from the last few months (so called Galaxy-compatible installers)
Click the "+" button on top of the sidebar and select "scan and import folders" - it will find all compatible games within that folder and add them to the Client.

2. For remaining GOG game INSTALLATIONS
Find the game in the Library (click on the image of the game), then click the More button and select "Manage" -> "Import folder" and point the folder selector into the folder where that game is installed.
Please be aware that Client will accept any folder pointed to and will overwrite files inside it (this can for example wipe some mods or damage other apps in case of pointing to a wrong folder) and will update the game to the newest version (current default language English).
